putting pennies in the pound jar

Making a very small or worthless contribution (see also: putting dimes in the dollar jar for American)

She might as well be putting pennies in the pound jar with the help she's contributing.

penny-wise and pound-foolish

Where someone compulsively saves money by buying super-cheap-priced foods like crackers and white bread, not caring/realizing that these salty/sugary/"empty-carbs" foods will make him gain unhealthy weight in a hurry. Ben Franklin was always sagely expounding about stuff like this, and just look at da deplorable "tubby" shape HE was in!

That balloon-bodied dude with clogged arteries in the ER never eats health-food stuff "'cuz it costs too much" --- talk about "penny-wise and pound-foolish" --- what good is being a penny-pincher and "fattening" your bank account if you're also gradually fattening YOURSELF in the process???

Penny For A Pound

1. An example of poor customer service by an apathetic bartender;

Being the only person/group of people stood at the bar waiting to be served while the bartender/dosy blonde barmaid is checking his/her e-mails and/or facebook, completely oblivious to his/her waiting patrons.

Steve: "Barkeep, oh barkeep... We're in need of some intoxicants... STAT!"

Sarah: "Tell me about it. Ya Can't get a penny for a pound round 'ere mate!"
